1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) is a key enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step for homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism via the trans-sulfuration pathway and is also responsible for the production of H(2)S through the desulfhydration reaction. Our recent studies demonstrate that renal ischemia/reperfusion decreased the CBS activity leading to Hcy accumulation and H(2)S reduction in the kidney, which in turn contributed to kidney injury. Both Hcy and H(2)S play important roles in physiological and pathological processes. In this study we investigated the molecular mechanism by which CBS activity was regulated in the kidney. The left kidney of Sprague-Dawley rat was subjected to 45 min of ischemia followed by 6 h of reperfusion. Ischemia/reperfusion caused a significant decrease in CBS mRNA and protein levels in the kidney. As a consequence, there was a marked reduction in the CBS enzyme activity. Transfection of kidney proximal tubular cells with transcription factor (Sp1) small interfering RNA caused a marked reduction in CBS mRNA, indicating a pivotal role for Sp1 in regulating CBS expression in kidney cells. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay detected a lower Sp1 activity in kidneys subjected to ischemia/reperfusion as compared with that in a sham-operated group. ERK-mediated phosphorylation of Sp1 was responsible for a decreased transcriptional activity of Sp1 in the kidney upon ischemia/reperfusion. These results suggest that reduced kidney CBS gene expression during ischemia/reperfusion is mediated via a decrease in Sp1 transcriptional activity. Regulation of CBS-mediated Hcy and H(2)S homeostasis may offer a renal protective effect against ischemia/reperfusion injury.
